centering axle in wheel well
I'm wondering how to correct an issue. My wheels are closer to the back of the car then front in the back wheel well. When I measure the back tire from the front of the rear wheel well to the tire I get 3". Then when I measure from the back of the rear wheel well to the tire I get 2"? The car has been dropped 1", has UMI LCARBs and Founders LCAs..Still stock TQ Arm..any ideas??

To get the rear wheels exactly where you want them will require adjustable lower control arms and panhard bar. When you lowered the car, it pushed the rear wheels back a tad with the stock length control arms.

Control arms locate front to rear,
panhard side to side,
torque arm to set pinion angle.

Re: centering axle in wheel well
aftermarket non-adjustable lcas should be the same length as the factory ones. that's why it still isn't centered.
